Musicians looking towards the past are embracing old school cool - 3.5" Floppy Diskettes
Lo-fi and Midi artists are increasingly turning towards Floppy Diskettes to release their tracks on a unique media and cut through the noise.
In Nobuko’s eyes, they’re a sort of mysterious treasure, cloaked in offline exclusivity and very real scarcity. “To me, the floppy represents a couple of things,” he says. “Nostalgia, but also a punk ethos. It feels highly personal. The floppy, as fragile as it is, has to be handled carefully. The label or musician has put a lot of thoughts in it. And I do think that they are adorable.”
